Add or remove a connection event handler

To detect changes in the connection status of a client app, add a connection event handler with its unique user-defined ID by calling AddConnectionHandler().

If you want to stay informed of changes related to the Sendbird server connection status and notify client apps of these changes, define and register multiple connection event handlers to each view controller.

Connection event types

List of connection events

Method	Invoked when	Notified devices
OnConnected()	The Chat SDK has been connected to the Sendbird server for the first time.	The device that is connected to the Sendbird server.
OnDisconnected()	The user has been logged out. It is different from WebSocket disconnection where a client app goes to the background. This handler is called after `SendbirdChat.Disconnect()` is called.	The device that is disconnected from the Sendbird server.
OnReconnectStarted()	The Chat SDK has started reconnecting to the Sendbird server.	The device where `Connect()` was automatically called by the Chat SDK, or manually by the client app.
OnReconnectSucceeded()	The Chat SDK has succeeded in reconnecting to the Sendbird server.	The device that successfully reconnected to the server.
OnReconnectFailed()	The Chat SDK has failed to reconnect to the Sendbird server.	The device that failed to reconnect to the server.

    },
    OnDisconnected = (inUserId) => 
    {
        // Action when disconnected
    },
    OnReconnectStarted = () => 
    {
        // Action when reconnection starts
    },
    OnReconnectSucceeded = () => 
    {
        // Action when reconnection succeeds
    },
    OnReconnectFailed = () => 
    {
        // Action when reconnection fails
    }
