Thanks for quick reply Pete O'Hanlon.Ive tried it,but i have a problem.
i have a listview with categories like Restaurants,Shopping malls etc,and when i click on Restaurants the text should be directly given to google places search,so that it displays Restaurants around me.I know this is basic question but i'm new to it

There's an example here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places#place_search_requests that shows you exactly how to do this. You need to supply your current lat/long to it, the radius of the search and the type you're interested in from the listview.

Actually my question is it should automatically detect my location and supply lat/long coordinates to google places search

You would use navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition to get your current position. The docs for this are here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_geolocation.asp
