Fragment not being loaded inside Framelayout

Question

I created a Navigationview with 3 items, when clicking on one of them, a specific fragment should be loaded inside the Framelayout, but this is not happening. I believe the error is in XML, because when I select an item from the menu the method onNavigationItemSelected is called and falls inside if:

activity_main.xml

I believe your mistake is to have placed the height of the include as match_parent I think if you change to wrap_content will solve

<include
        layout="@layout/app_bar_main"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
