    public class ImageAdapter extends BaseAdapter 
    {
        private Context context;

        public ImageAdapter(Context c) 
        {
            context = c;
        }

        //---returns the number of images---
        public int getCount() {
            return imageIDs.length;
        }

        //---returns the ID of an item--- 
        public Object getItem(int position) {
            return position;
        }

        public long getItemId(int position) {
            return position;
        }

        //---returns an ImageView view---
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) 
        {
            ImageView imageView;
            if (convertView == null) {
                imageView = new ImageView(context);
                imageView.setLayoutParams(new GridView.LayoutParams(85, 85));
                imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
                imageView.setPadding(5, 5, 5, 5);
            } else {
                imageView = (ImageView) convertView;

You need to use a custom adapter instead of the ImageAdapter, and add a vertical LinearLayout with the image and the label. Check out the BaseAdapter api: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/BaseAdapter.html

For the click events, use the OnItemClickAdapter: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AdapterView.OnItemClickListener.html
