Android Google Maps searching for places

Question

I am new to Android development and I wanted to know about using the Google Maps API. What I am trying to accomplish is given the user a list of places defined here in Google Places API (https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/supported_types) table 1 only. When the user picks a supported type, I want to be able to get a list of all the corresponding places as an arraylist. For example, if I picked Hospital, I want to get a list of all closeby hospitals. I am not sure how to go about doing this. Can someone point me in the right direction? Any tutorials? Where can I start?
