How to reset a react-native animation?

Question

I've made some simple animation using Animated from react-native The animation works as expected after the first onPress, but I can't figure out how to reset it, to make it work for the next taps.

constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.spinValue = new Animated.Value(0);
    // Second interpolate beginning and end values (in this case 0 and 1)
    this.spin = this.spinValue.interpolate({
        inputRange: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
        outputRange: ['0deg', '4deg', '0deg', '-4deg', '0deg']
    });
}

handlePress() {
    // First set up animation 
    Animated.timing(
        this.spinValue,
        {
            toValue: 4,
            duration: 300,
        }
    ).start();
}

And in render

<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={() => { this.handlePress(); }} >
                    <Animated.Image
                        source={someImg}
                        style={{ height: undefined, width: undefined, flex: 1, transform: [{ rotate: this.spin }, { perspective: 1000 }] }}
                        resizeMode={'contain'}
                        resizeMethod="resize"
                    />
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>

Any suggestions? Thanks

You can use this.spinValue.setValue(0) to reset it. You can add it at the beginning of handlePress.
