Are there any better ways for "one time animation" like ripple?

[jakehsiao]

Each time I click a button, a ripple comes out.

The current method I am using is onRest(){setPlaying(false)} so that each time I set playing to "true" a ripple comes out then after the ripple animation finishes playing, playing is set to "false" so that the next time when I set to "true" it plays again. But I think there should be better ways.
