I know this post is from a while ago, but just in case someone else comes across this same issue that I had this is what I did to solve the problem.

I had the same exact issue. Took me a while to figure this out, but there is 2 places where you need to update your code that should solve this issue.

Within GridViewAdapter.Java make the following changes

Before...

private ArrayList data = new ArrayList();

After...

private ArrayList<ImageItem> data = new ArrayList();

Before...

public GridViewAdapter(Context context, int layoutResourceId,
                   ArrayList data) {

After...

public GridViewAdapter(Context context, int layoutResourceId,
                   ArrayList<ImageItem> data) {

I hope this helps!

You can create string-array, so that:

 <string-array name="image_ids">
    <item>@drawable/ads</item>
    <item>@drawable/dsa</item>
    <item>@drawable/sda</item>
 </string-array>
