Connection (OpenTok Android SDK)

java.lang.Object
- com.opentok.android.Connection

```
public final class Connection
extends java.lang.Object
```
Represents a connection between a client and an OpenTok session. The Session.getConnection() method returns a Connection object that represents the local user's connection. The Stream.getConnection() method returns a Connection object that represents the stream publisher's connection.
To initialize a session, call the Session() constructor, which returns the Session object. Then call the connect() method of the Session object to connect to the session. When the connection to the session is made, the Session.SessionListener.onConnected(Session session) method is called.

Session.getConnection(), Session.SessionListener.onStreamReceived(Session session, Stream stream), Session.SessionListener.onConnected(Session session)
