QiChatbot qiChatbot = ...;
QiChatVariable nameVariable = qiChatbot.variable("name");

Reading/Writing a variable

Read and write a QiChatVariable and set a listener to handle a value change:

val nameVariable: QiChatVariable = ...

nameVariable.value = "Pepper"
val name: String = nameVariable.value
nameVariable.addOnValueChangedListener { currentValue -> Log.i(TAG, "onValueChanged: $currentValue") }
QiChatVariable nameVariable = ...;

nameVariable.setValue("Pepper");
String name = nameVariable.getValue();
nameVariable.addOnValueChangedListener(currentValue -> Log.i(TAG, "onValueChanged: " + currentValue));
