Since iOS5 you can use UIAlertViewStyle to add the different Textinput into the UIAlertview

Just add it as a subView to the UIAlertView object with the frame size that you desire !

I came up with this, its a little long, but I set it and forgot and it works...

alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:t message:@"" delegate:self     cancelButtonTitle:@"CANCEL" otherButtonTitles:@"OK", nil];

pinField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 38, 244, 31)];
pinField.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[alertView show];


[alertView insertSubview:pinField atIndex:2];


NSArray * subviews = [alertView subviews];
UILabel * label1 = [subviews objectAtIndex:1];
UIImageView * bg = [subviews objectAtIndex:0];
UIView * button1 = [subviews objectAtIndex:4];
UIView * button2 = [subviews objectAtIndex:5];
float height = 0;
height = 16 + label1.frame.size.height;
CGRect frame = label1.frame;
frame.origin.y = 8;
label1.frame = frame;

frame = pinField.frame;
frame.origin.y = height;
pinField.frame = frame;

height += 8 + frame.size.height;
frame = button1.frame;
frame.origin.y = height;
button1.frame = frame;

frame = button2.frame;
frame.origin.y = height;
button2.frame = frame;

height += 8 + frame.size.height;
frame = alertView.frame;
frame.size.height = height +8;
alertView.frame= frame;

frame = bg.frame;
frame.size.height = alertView.frame.size.height;
bg.frame = frame;

[pinField release];
[alertView release];

Create a custom class which inherits from UIAlertview and add a textfield element to it.

Then write this method :

-(id)init
{
    txtField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectZero]; // your frame here
    [self addSubview: txtField];

    return self;
}

This might help. Now create an object of this class in some other class and test it.
