Inserting image in UITableView cell issue

sorry for the silly question, but I'm still in the process of learning Objective-C and iPhone programming.

I'm trying to insert an icon to the left of a UITableView cell. This is from the method (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath :

NSString *imagePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"icon3" ofType:@"png"];
UIImage *icon = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile: imagePath];
cell.imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
cell.imageView.image = icon;

My icon (30w x 44h) MUST be as high as the cell, while at the moment it remains a little space (maybe 1 pixel) above it and below. I tried to change the dimensions of the image with no success and I tried to reduce the height of the cell (with no effect) with (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath.

What can I do?

Eventually I should insert a little space on the left too, but this is secondary.

Thanks very much.

This is the screenshot: check that white pixel above the yellow icon

[UPDATE] no problem when the UITableView is not "grouped"

Based on code from CanadaDev here:

UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5,5,20,20)]; // set the location and size of your imageview here.
imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"]; // set the image for the imageview
imageView.highlightedImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"imageHighlighted.png"]; // if you need it, this will allow you to create an image used when the cell is highlighted. For example, a white copy of your image to match the white text.
[cell addSubview:imageView];

and then for text:

UILabel *price=[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(80,60, 180,12)];
price.text=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"price %@",temp];
price.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
[price setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"American Typewriter" size:12]];
[cell.contentView addSubview:price];
[price release];

Try to adjust the size of cell.imageView.

cell.imageView.bounds = CGRectMake(0,0,0,0) //fill in appropriate location and size for the zeros

You need to change the height of the row for the cell.imageView to be resized.

implement the following method and return the height of your image.

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

Try also removing the contentMode setting in your cellForRowAtIndexPath method. You can replace all your code with one line as below:

cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"icon3.png"];
