Android Fragment not showing up after inflation

I have a fragment that I would like to display on top of an activity. This is the code that I'm trying right now...

MainActivity.class

FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
DirectionsFragment directionsFragment = new DirectionsFragment();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.setCustomAnimations(android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out);
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.directions_fragment_framelayout, directionsFragment);
fragmentTransaction.commit();

activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
    <!-- irrelevant parameters -->
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/directions_fragment_framelayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

    </FrameLayout>

    <com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.maps.MapView>
        <!-- A BUNCH OF CHILDREN -->
    </com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.maps.MapView>
</RelativeLayout>

DirectionsFragment.class

public class DirectionsFragment extends Fragment {

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        ViewGroup viewGroup = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_directions, container, false);

        return viewGroup;
    }
}

fragment_directions.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
    <!-- irrelevant params -->
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/directions_listview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        <!-- irrelevant params -->
    />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

The activity itself runs fine; when I trigger the fragment to show, it runs through the FragmentTransaction and fragment view inflation fine (confirmed using logs and breakpoints). Since the fragment is being added to a FrameLayout, why isn't the fragment showing up? Thanks in advance!

I think it will be helpfull

Try to swap your FrameLayout and MapView in activity_main.xml

Your code is working fine but its behind the map view thats why its not showing.

activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
        <!-- irrelevant parameters -->
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        tools:context=".MainActivity">


        <com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.maps.MapView>
            <!-- A BUNCH OF CHILDREN -->
        </com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.maps.MapView>

        <FrameLayout
            android:id="@+id/directions_fragment_framelayout"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">

        </FrameLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Add background color in your fragment layout because fragment loaded but transparent layout.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:background="@android:color/white"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/directions_listview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        <!-- irrelevant params -->
    />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
