public class Customgrid extends Activity {

public int gotbread;
public int get, send;
AQuery aq;
String url1[] = { "https://www.dropbox.com/s/f308a9s5ycuc3mh/1.jpg",

Answer 1

You have

  AQuery aq = new AQuery(Customgrid.this); // declared and initialized in oncreate

in onCreate becomes local to onCreate.

Change to

  aq = new AQuery(Customgrid.this);

The instance variable aq was never initialized giving NPE.

public class Customgrid extends Activity {

public int gotbread;
public int get, send;
AQuery aq; // not initialized

Also no network related operation on the ui thread.
