If you're referring to how to launch apps from the Kodi main menu screen, then it's the same as I posted 2yrs ago for Aeon Nox.

Doing this is skin dependent.

You can add individual apps to the main menu by using the "StartAndroidActivity" function.

Go to System - Appearance - Skin (Settings) - Custumizer (Main menu item customizer)


Then on the Main menu, select the item you want to add as a custom menu item and select it. If if has a red X on it, then select "disable" to enable it, then select "Choose Type".

Now select "Custom" and in the keyboard box type in:
StartAndroidActivity("your.app.folder.name")

So for example Netflix would be:
StartAndroidActivity("com.netflix.ninja") - which is for the new AFTV or Android TV Netflix app.

You can do this for either the main menu item or for sub-menu items.

You can also add "Android Apps" to the main menu by adding.

ActivateWindow(10001,"androidapp://source/apps/",return)

or

ActivateWindow(Programs,androidapp://source/apps/,return)

Keep in mind, not all Android apps allow you to "exit" out of the app. So you will [may] not be able to exit back into Kodi with all apps.

Youtube is one app that doesn't allow you to exit out, however you can use alternate apps like Protube which will let you exit back

Here's some app folder naming:

Hulu Plus - (“com.hulu.plus”)
Netflix – (“org.chromium.content_shell_apK”)
Crackle – (“com.gotv.crackle.handset”)
Dead Trigger 2 – (“com.madfingergames.deadtrigger2”)
iHeart Radio – (“com.clearchannel.iheartradio.tv”)
Asphalt 8 – (“com.gameloft.android.AMAZ.GloftA8AS”)
Flixter – (“net.flixter.android”)
Vimeo – (“com.vimeo.android.tv”)
Walking Dead S1 – (“com.telltalegames.walkingdead100”)
Vevo – (“com.vevo.tv”)
Pandora – (“com.pandora.android.gtv”)
Beach Buggy Racing – (“com.vectorunit.purple.amazon”)
Riptide – (“com.vectorunit.redamazon”)
VTube (Youtube) – (“com.vtube.protube”)
Table Top Racing – (“com.playrisedigital.ttra”)
