The old version isn't so much as uninstalled as it is updated.  All
external resources like shared preferences, databases etc (your app's /
data/ folder) are not removed.  If you have something on the sd card
it is not removed.

Everything else gets removed and updated, including all the drawables
and layouts in your projects /res/ folder.
