AQuery does not load images in Android Studio

I'm trying to load images through a URL to my ListView through an adapter but AQuery doesn't seem to load the URLs to the ImageViews. I have tried doing this with Picasso Image Loader and it worked but I prefer AQuery and I need to resolve this issue. I'm using Android Studio.

public class FeedAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<ActivityTable> {

    ArrayList<ActivityTable> activities = new ArrayList<ActivityTable>();
    Context ctx;
    int resource;
    AQuery aq;

    public FeedAdapter(Context context, int resource, ArrayList<ActivityTable> activityList) {
        super(context, resource, activityList);
        this.activities = activityList;
        this.ctx = context;
        this.resource = resource;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

        View v = convertView;

        if (v == null) {

            LayoutInflater vi;
            vi = LayoutInflater.from(getContext());
            v = vi.inflate(R.layout.newsfeed_single, null);

        }

        ActivityTable p = new ActivityTable(); //Object of type ActivityTable

        for(ActivityTable item: activities) {
            p = activities.get(position);
        }

        if (p != null) {

            TextView owner_text = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.post_owner);
            ImageView post_picture = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.post_media);

             owner_text.setText(p.getUser().getFname());

             AQuery aq = new AQuery(ctx);
             aq.id(R.id.post_media).image(p.getURL()); //getURL() Returns the Image URL 
             //The URL is valid and I checked whether it works through Picasso Image Loader
        }

        return v;

    }
}

The application loads the 'name' fields properly in the ListView but leaves a blank in the ImageView. What am I doing wrong?

use picasso to image downloading and caching library for Android
