Creating a group box layout, trying to overlay the titles of the outer border

Android 4.0.1

I can trying to create a group box that will contain some details. But the problem I am having is with the titles that should display over the groupbox's border lines as in the diagram.

enter image description here

I have used the CoordinatorLayout as I think this would be better for overlaying the border lines and I can anchor on the top start and end.

    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout

        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvStandardDeliver"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginStart="16dp"

            android:text="Standard Delivery FREE"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvExpressDelivery"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
            android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
            android:text="Express Deliver"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/tvStandardDeliver" />

    </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tvHomeDeliver"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginStart="32dp"
        android:translationZ="10dp"
        android:text="Home Delivery"
        app:layout_anchor="@id/clGroupBox"
        app:layout_anchorGravity="top|start"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tvViewDetails"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginEnd="32dp"
        android:padding="8dp"
        app:drawableEndCompat="@android:drawable/arrow_down_float"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:translationZ="20dp"
        android:text="View Details"
        app:layout_anchor="@id/clGroupBox"
        app:layout_anchorGravity="top|end"/>
</androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

However, when I run on a device the border lines are always displayed over the text titles. I have tried using translationZ and elevation to bring them forward. But it doesn't work.

This with what I can getting when I run:
