On first use you can detect if a given package is installed, thereby detecting your previous app. I don't know about uninstalling another app, all I can think of is a hack. You could have have the new version encourage the user to remove the old one, and provide a link to a new version APK for the demo app that is a thin shell. It would replace the previous demo with a near empty application that just opens the full app.
