Answer 1

Use this XML instead..

grid_single.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="#222222"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="10dp" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#FFFFFF"
            android:orientation="vertical" >

            <LinearLayout
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:background="#E6E6E6"
                android:orientation="vertical" >

                <ImageView
                    android:id="@+id/grid_image"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:padding="10dp"
                    android:src="@drawable/eleven" >
                </ImageView>
            </LinearLayout>

            <LinearLayout
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:background="#FFFFFF"
                android:orientation="vertical" >

                <TextView
                    android:id="@+id/grid_text"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:padding="10dp"
                    android:text="Text"
                    android:textSize="12sp" >
                </TextView>
            </LinearLayout>
        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Answer 2

Try changing your ImageView xml to this:

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/grid_image"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:padding="10dp"
    android:scaleType="fitXY"
    android:src="@drawable/eleven" >
</ImageView>

You have a good sample of different android:scaleType displays, and how they behave here.
