Answer

Your ArrayAdapter is expecting a string array (ArrayAdapter<String>) and your actual ArrayList is of GridEpisode type, they do not match. Change this line;

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, episodelist);

to this:

ArrayAdapter<GridEpisode> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, episodelist);

Notice the ArrayAdapter type is changed from String to GridEpisode.
