Looking at the documentation for SmartFox, it appears that you have the event names wrong. That's why the compiler is complaining about the type parameter being null. SFSEvent.CONNECTION, SFSEvent.ROOM_JOIN, et al do not exist and are therefore null.

You'll want to use the correct event names. SFSEvent.onConnection, SFSEvent.onJoinRoom, etc.
