Problem is that you try to assign String-type data to ImageView. The easiest way to fix it would be:

1. Change resource array type to integer-array

2. Instead of using simple ArrayAdapter with string data, use custom adapter like:

   class ImgAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
   @Override
   public int getCount() {
       return planets.length;
   }
   
   @Override
   public Integer getItem(final int position) {
       return planets[position];
   }
   
   @Override
   public long getItemId(final int position) {
       return position;
   }
   
   @Override
   public View getView(final int position, final View convertView, final ViewGroup parent) {
       final View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.grid_view_row, null);
       ImageView imageView = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.imageGrid);
       imageView.setImageResource(getItem(position));
       return view;
   }
   }
   

That is simple it. Last thing is to set new adapter to gridView
