You need to define a custom grid item layout which contains a textview to assign the text.

Here we have created a FrameLayout which has the imageview set to match the parent's dimensions, this will be the imageview that displays the photo. Next, there is a TextView which will be used to display the item title and that is aligned to the bottom of the FrameLayout.

Next, we need to edit your adapter to use this grid item layout and render the correct information.

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    // Inflate the single grid item layout
    if (convertView == null) {  
        convertView = mLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.grid_item, parent, false);
    }

    // Set Image
    ImageView thumbnail = convertView.findViewById(R.id.thumbnail);
    if (thumbnail != null) {
        thumbnail.setImageResource(mThumbIds[position]);
    }

    // Set Text
    TextView title = convertView.findViewById(R.id.title);
    if (title != null) {
        title.setText("Image Number: " + position);
    }

    return convertView;     
}

mLayoutInflater should be globally defined in your constructor using

mLayoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
