### Inherited Functions

| Name | Summary |
|---|---|
| [getUploadEnabled](-glean-internal-a-p-i/get-upload-enabled.md) | `fun getUploadEnabled(): `[`Boolean`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html)<br>Get whether or not Glean is allowed to record and upload data. |
| [handleBackgroundEvent](-glean-internal-a-p-i/handle-background-event.md) | `fun handleBackgroundEvent(): `[`Unit`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html)<br>Handle the background event and send the appropriate pings. |
| [initialize](-glean-internal-a-p-i/initialize.md) | `fun initialize(applicationContext: <ERROR CLASS>, configuration: `[`Configuration`](../mozilla.components.service.glean.config/-configuration/index.md)` = Configuration()): `[`Unit`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html)<br>Initialize Glean. |
| [isInitialized](-glean-internal-a-p-i/is-initialized.md) | `fun isInitialized(): `[`Boolean`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html)<br>Returns true if the Glean library has been initialized. |
| [registerPings](-glean-internal-a-p-i/register-pings.md) | `fun registerPings(pings: `[`Any`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-any/index.html)`): `[`Unit`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html)<br>Register the pings generated from `pings.yaml` with Glean. |
| [setExperimentActive](-glean-internal-a-p-i/set-experiment-active.md) | `fun setExperimentActive(experimentId: `[`String`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)`, branch: `[`String`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)`, extra: `[`Map`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.collections/-map/index.html)`<`[`String`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)`, `[`String`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)`>? = null): `[`Unit`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html)<br>Indicate that an experiment is running.
