The text and button are appearing on top of each other when I run the app, even though in the design screen show different. They overlay each other on the upper left hand side the screen. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this. Using Android Studio as directed by the video.

In the Design view, above the phone/tablet window there is a few icons.
From the right: An eye (Hide constraints) A magnet(Turn of autoconnect) etc...
Press the 4th one. (Infer constraints). Run your program.
It worked for me.
