Contributions summary:Kyle focused on migrating the host list functionality from a `ListView` to a `RecyclerView` component. They updated the UI by implementing a `RecyclerView` with its associated `HostAdapter` and `HostListItemDecoration`. Additionally, the user made several code cleanup changes, including extending `AppCompatActivity`, removing unnecessary imports, and adding a FAB to the host list and port forward activity. Further commits fixed tests to work with the new `RecyclerView` implementation and added an `EditHostActivity` and supporting UI components.
