About UIAlertView with Textfield...

Declare the text field as global.And in the method of alertView clicked - (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex just take the value of the textfield and do the operations you want with it.....

Heres the revised code

UITextField *myTextField;
...
{

UIAlertView *myAlertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"New List Item", @"new_list_dialog")
                                                      message:@"this gets covered" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"OK", nil];
myTextField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(12.0, 45.0, 260.0, 25.0)];
[myTextField setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[myAlertView addSubview:myTextField];
[myAlertView show];
[myAlertView release];
}
....
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
NSLog(@"string entered=%@",myTextField.text);
}

For iOS 5 and later
You can use alertViewStyle property of UIAlertView.

Swift: Insert Alert Box with Text Input (and Store Text Input )

Check this out:

let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Email?", message: "Please input your email:", preferredStyle: .alert)

let confirmAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Confirm", style: .default) { (_) in
  guard let textFields = alertController.textFields,
    textFields.count > 0 else {
      // Could not find textfield
      return
  }

  let field = textFields[0]
  // store your data
  UserDefaults.standard.set(field.text, forKey: "userEmail")
  UserDefaults.standard.synchronize()
}

let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel) { (_) in }

alertController.addTextField { (textField) in
  textField.placeholder = "Email"
}

alertController.addAction(confirmAction)
alertController.addAction(cancelAction)

self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

How to add a TextField to UIAlertView in Swift

You can access the textfield with:

let textField = alert.textFieldAtIndex(0)

Then to change the placeholder text:

textField.placeholder = "Foo!"

And the keyboard type:

textField.keyboardType = ...

Problems with getting text from UIAlertView textfield

You may go with UIAlertController instead of UIAlertView.

I've already implemented and tested too using UIAlertController for what you actually want. Please try the following code

    var tField: UITextField!

    func configurationTextField(textField: UITextField!)
    {
        print("generating the TextField")
        textField.placeholder = "Enter an item"
        tField = textField
    }

    func handleCancel(alertView: UIAlertAction!)
    {
        print("Cancelled !!")
    }

    var alert = UIAlertController(title: "Enter Input", message: "", preferredStyle: .Alert)

    alert.addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler(configurationTextField)
    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .Cancel, handler:handleCancel))
    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Done", style: .Default, handler:{ (UIAlertAction) in
        print("Done !!")

        print("Item : \(self.tField.text)")
    }))
    self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: {
        print("completion block")
    })

iOS 8: UIAlertView / UIAlertController not showing text or buttons

I got the answer to my issue. The issue was that I was using UIFont+Replacement category in my project. This was working fine on iOS 7 but on iOS 8 it was using few deprecated methods. Due to this, I don't know why, but only my alert view was not showing any labels.

Solution: Deleted the category from the project and set font through xib. Once we place the .tff file of any font in our project workspace, we see those font names in the xib under custom fonts. NO NEED TO USE UIFont+Replacement category.

        let secondTextField = alertController.textFields![1] as UITextField
        print("firstName \(firstTextField.text), secondName \(secondTextField.text)")
    })
    let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .default, handler: { (action : UIAlertAction!) -> Void in })
    alertController.addTextField { (textField : UITextField!) -> Void in
        textField.placeholder = "Enter First Name"

UIAlertView with multiple text inputs?

Use this code for Add mulitple textfield in UIAlertView

UIView *v = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 250, 100)];

UITextField *textField1 = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10,0,252,25)];
textField1.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
textField1.placeholder = @"Username";
textField1.keyboardAppearance = UIKeyboardAppearanceAlert;
textField1.delegate = self;
[v addSubview:textField1];

UITextField *textField2 = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10,30,252,25)];
textField2.placeholder = @"Password";
textField2.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
textField2.keyboardAppearance = UIKeyboardAppearanceAlert;
textField2.delegate = self;
[v addSubview:textField2];

UITextField *textField3 = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10,60,252,25)];
textField3.placeholder = @"Address";
textField3.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
textField3.keyboardAppearance = UIKeyboardAppearanceAlert;
textField3.delegate = self;
[v addSubview:textField3];

UIAlertView *av = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"TEST" message:@"" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"NO" otherButtonTitles:@"YES", nil];
[av setValue:v  forKey:@"accessoryView"];
[av show];

I hope this code useful for you.
