Create Custom Place Picker using New Google Place API in Xamarin.Android

I am trying to create custom place picker for Xamari.Android. I could not find the following plugin in xamarin

com.google.android.libraries.places:places:1.0.0

Can Anyone help me here? I am trying to implement custom place picker using this link: https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/location-places-android/index.html?index=..%2F..index#8

If you guyz have any other way to sort this out do let me know. I want to create a view to pick a location from a map, search location etc.

Currently I have these package installed. enter image description here

    From the sample code:

    ....
if (!PlacesApi.IsInitialized)
   PlacesApi.Initialize (this, apiKey);

placesClient = PlacesApi.CreateClient (this);
placesData = new List<PlaceData> ();
....
