Help with App layout using AVD.

When I run my program all txt boxes and buttons are in the same place. In my code everything looks like it should. Here is the code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context="com.example.missl.funfacts.FunFactsActivity">

<TextView
    android:layout_width="160dp"
    android:layout_height="55dp"
    android:text="Did You Know?"
    android:textSize="24sp"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.063"
    app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.026" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/funFactTextView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Ants Stretch when they wake up in the morning"
    android:textSize="24sp"
    tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="16dp"
    tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="247dp" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/funFactButton"
    android:layout_width="395dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Show me another fun fact"
    android:textSize="24sp"
    tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="8dp"
    tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="539dp"
     />

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

OK I think I fixed. Had to add Infer Constraints to txt boxes and button.
