You can use the Google Image Search API (FYI, its now deprecated).

For example, search images of me using this URL: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/images?v=1.0&q=paresh%20mayani'

You just have to make a call on this URL and get a JSON response. Once you have JSON response, then you have to parse it and display wherever you want, may you display it inside the GridView or GalleryView.

FYI, i have already did this in one of my application and its working fine even today (After its deprecation even).

Result set on Browser:

You can try Google search API. http://google.com/complete/search?output=json&q=YOURSEARCHEDTERM or for XML output http://google.com/complete/search?output=toolbar&q=YOURSEARCHEDTERM. Not sure how it can be used with images. May be with little changes you can get it work.
