I encountered the same issue and fixed it by putting below code in app/build.gradle file. Please note that you have to put '*' at the end of path to exclude all the files inside the folder. You will have to change the path of files to be excluded in the below code based on error description.

compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "24.0.3"

    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'com/google/appengine/repackaged/org/apache/commons/codec/language/bm/*'
        exclude 'com/google/appengine/repackaged/org/codehaus/jackson/impl/*'
        exclude 'com/google/appengine/repackaged/org/apache/commons/codec/language/*'
    }
