[android help] Android Lazy loading Images from JSON into gridview

So i am trying to load images from my returned json array into a staggered gridview. I have already tested putting links directly into the array like the example and it works perfectly, but once i try to use json data, i get errors.(Both network, and storage errors) I have all the required permmissions in my manifest(ie, internet, internal and external storage)

Here is my code, can somebody please let me know what's wrong? Thanks!!

package com.example.staggeredgridviewdemo;

import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;

import com.origamilabs.library.views.StaggeredGridView;

/**
 * 
 * This will not work so great since the heights of the imageViews are
 * calculated on the iamgeLoader callback ruining the offsets. To fix this try
 * to get the (intrinsic) image width and height and set the views height
 * manually. I will look into a fix once I find extra time.
