A simple Android app that can preview/edit /etc/hosts file in a GUI manner. Requires Shizuku in root mode.

How Shizuku is used

Can preview, add, edit and delete /etc/hosts entries via Shizuku `UserService` file access

This is an AI-assisted analysis of Shizuku-related usages in the app's public source code. It is best effort, so it may not catch every single usage.

How this app uses Shizuku

Hostman uses Shizuku to get privileged file access to the system hosts file, letting users view and modify hostname mappings that normal apps cannot touch.

Preview hosts entries: the app loads and parses the current /etc/hosts content through the privileged file service and shows IPv4 and IPv6 mappings in a list that can be refreshed.
Add and edit mappings: values entered in the edit dialog are merged into the parsed entries and the regenerated hosts file content is written back to /etc/hosts through the privileged file service.
Delete mappings: a mapping selected for removal is dropped from the parsed entries and the regenerated hosts file content is written back to /etc/hosts through the privileged file service.
