Answer 1

Put image = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView2); after set content View.

You can find a view after setting view for activity.then only its identifies the id form xml layout.

setContentView(R.layout.activity_details);
image = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView2);

Answer 2

Add setContentView(R.layout.activity_details); after super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); in your onCreate() method.

Check this :

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_details);
image = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView2);
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.hide();

 pd = ProgressDialog.show(DetailsActivity.this, "Testing",
            "Loading");
new ImageDownload().execute("");
//asyncDownload();
}
