what are the necessary gradle files for setting up appium in android studio

Question

I am learning Appium. Please help me in setting up this with in android studio. I referred some of the document but fail to understand it properly. so please help me out.

Edit after adding following dependencies

compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.10'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'io.appium:java-client:3.3.0'
compile 'com.googlecode.json-simple:json-simple:1.1.1'
compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5.1'
compile 'commons-lang:commons-lang:2.6'
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.5'
compile 'com.google.http-client:google-http-client:1.21.0'
compile 'com.testdroid:testdroid-api:2.9'
compile 'com.google.http-client:google-http-client-jackson2:1.21.0'

and if i run my application it shows following error

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.

'com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_51\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1'

Try adding multiDexEnabled true to your app build.gradle file.

 defaultConfig {
    multiDexEnabled true
}

In case it happens frequently or first step didn't help multiDexEnabled might help. For those who love to dig deeper here is couple similar issues (with more answers):

:app:dexDebug ExecException finished with non-zero exit value 2

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'. com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException
