Description

It would be nice to have text and password inputs can be enabled for AlertDialog. "style" API property can be used for this purpose. (UIAlertView alertViewStyle property). For example:

var dialog = Ti.UI.createAlertDialog({
    title: 'Please enter your name',
    style: Ti.UI.iOS.AlertDialogStyle.PLAIN_TEXT_INPUT /* default is Ti.UI.iOS.AlertDialogStyle.DEFAULT */
});

and the text can be passed to AlertDialog's "click" event (fired by clickedButtonAtIndex).

I'm going to submit pull request for this feature, here is the functional test code:

Titanium.UI.setBackgroundColor('#fff');
   
   var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
       title: 'Alert Dialog Style',
       backgroundColor: '#fff',
       layout: 'vertical'
   });
   
   var dialog = Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog({
   	message: 'Sample message...',
   	buttonNames: ['OK', 'Cancel', 'Baska']
   });
   
   dialog.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
   	switch (dialog.style) {
   		case Titanium.UI.iPhone.AlertDialogStyle.PLAIN_TEXT_INPUT:
   			value_label.text = 'Plain Text Input: ' + e.text;
   			break;
   		case Titanium.UI.iPhone.AlertDialogStyle.SECURE_TEXT_INPUT:
   			value_label.text = 'Secure Text Input: ' + e.text;
   			break;
   		case Titanium.UI.iPhone.AlertDialogStyle.LOGIN_AND_PASSWORD_INPUT:
   			value_label.text = 'Login: ' + e.login + ' Password: ' + e.password;
   			break;
   		default:
   			value_label.text = 'Default alert dialog shown. There will be no text or login, password event properties.';
   			break;
   	}
   });
   
   var button_default = Titanium.UI.createButton({
   	top: 10,
   	title: 'Default Dialog',
   	style: Titanium.UI.iPhone.SystemButtonStyle.BORDERED
   });
   
   button_default.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
   	dialog.title = 'Default Dialog';
   	dialog.style = Titanium.UI.iPhone.AlertDialogStyle.DEFAULT;
   	dialog.show();
   });
   
   win.add(button_default);
   
   var button_plain = Titanium.UI.createButton({
   	top: 5,
   	title: 'Plain Text Input Dialog',
   	style: Titanium.UI.iPhone.SystemButtonStyle.BORDERED
   });
   
   button_plain.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
   	dialog.text  = 'Enter text';
   	dialog.style = Titanium.UI.iPhone.AlertDialogStyle.PLAIN_TEXT_INPUT;
   	dialog.show();
   });
   
   win.add(button_plain);
   
   var button_secure = Titanium.UI.createButton({
   	top: 5,
   	title: 'Secure Text Input Dialog',
   	style: Titanium.UI.iPhone.SystemButtonStyle.BORDERED
   });
   
   button_secure.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
   	dialog.title = 'Enter password';
   	dialog.style = Titanium.UI.iPhone.AlertDialogStyle.SECURE_TEXT_INPUT;
   	dialog.show();
   });
   
   win.add(button_secure);
   
   var button_login_and_password = Titanium.UI.createButton({
   	top: 5,
   	title: 'Login and Password Dialog',
   	style: Titanium.UI.iPhone.SystemButtonStyle.BORDERED
   });
   
   button_login_and_password.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
   	dialog.title = 'Enter login and password';
   	dialog.style = Titanium.UI.iPhone.AlertDialogStyle.LOGIN_AND_PASSWORD_INPUT;
   	dialog.show();
   });
   
   win.add(button_login_and_password);
   
   var label = Titanium.UI.createLabel({
   	top: 10,
   	text: 'Dialog Input Value(s):'
   });
   
   win.add(label);
   
   var value_label = Titanium.UI.createLabel({
   	top: 5,
   	text: ''
   });
   
   win.add(value_label);
   
   win.open();
