I want to learn if there is an easier way to create a UI for Android. For example, for web design, we can convert psd to html. For Android programming, is there a solution like that or a tool that we can use easily?

Unfortunately, no. Additionally, any automated tool to convert PSD to HTML will not end well for anything but the most simple layouts. If you’re talking about just using Photoshop as a layout design tool then you can use the same process with Android if you like. There’s no technical limitation there.
ADT includes a visual editor, but I can’t say it’s very good. I’d highly recommend just learning the layout APIs and getting good at editing the XML.
Update:
It turns out that Google has recently provided a number of stencils to help with this designing process. It’s still not a UI editor, but it might help with sketching things out.
