I found another set of examples for customizing an AlertDialog from a guy named Mossila. I think they're better than Google's examples. To quickly see Google's API demos, you must import their demo jar(s) into your project, which you probably don't want.

But Mossila's example code is fully self-contained. It can be directly cut-and-pasted into your project. It just works! Then you only need to tweak it to your needs. See here

Have a look at the AlertDialog docs   As it states  to add a custom view to your alert dialog you need to find the frameLayout and add your view to that like so   FrameLayout fl    FrameLayout  findViewById android R id custom   fl addView myView  new LayoutParams MATCH PARENT  WRAP CONTENT      Most likely you are going to want to create a layout xml file for your view  and inflate it   LayoutInflater inflater   getLayoutInflater    View twoEdits   inflater inflate R layout my layout  f1  false

Check the following code  It shows 2 edit text fields programmatically without any layout xml  Change  this  to  getActivity    if you use it in a fragment   The tricky thing is we have to set the second text field s input type after creating alert dialog  otherwise  the second text field shows texts instead of dots       public void showInput             OnFocusChangeListener onFocusChangeListener   new OnFocusChangeListener                  Override             public void onFocusChange final View v  boolean hasFocus                    if  hasFocus                           Must use message queue to show keyboard                     v post new Runnable                              Override                         public void run                                 InputMethodManager inputMethodManager   InputMethodManager getSystemService Context INPUT METHOD SERVICE                               inputMethodManager showSoftInput v  0                                                                                                         final EditText editTextName   new EditText this           editTextName setHint  Name            editTextName setFocusable true           editTextName setClickable true           editTextName setFocusableInTouchMode true           editTextName setSelectAllOnFocus true           editTextName setSingleLine true           editTextName setImeOptions EditorInfo IME ACTION NEXT           editTextName setOnFocusChangeListener onFocusChangeListener            final EditText editTextPassword   new EditText this           editTextPassword setHint  Password            editTextPassword setFocusable true           editTextPassword setClickable true           editTextPassword setFocusableInTouchMode true           editTextPassword setSelectAllOnFocus true           editTextPassword setSingleLine true           editTextPassword setImeOptions EditorInfo IME ACTION DONE           editTextPassword setOnFocusChangeListener onFocusChangeListener            LinearLayout linearLayout   new LinearLayout this           linearLayout setOrientation LinearLayout VERTICAL           linearLayout addView editTextName           linearLayout addView editTextPassword            DialogInterface OnClickListener alertDialogClickListener   new DialogInterface OnClickListener                  Override             public void onClick DialogInterface dialog  int which                    switch  which                   case DialogInterface BUTTON POSITIVE                         Done button clicked                     break                  case DialogInterface BUTTON NEGATIVE                         Cancel button clicked                     break                                                     final AlertDialog alertDialog    new AlertDialog Builder this   setMessage  Please enter name and password                    setView linearLayout                   setPositiveButton  Done   alertDialogClickListener                   setNegativeButton  Cancel   alertDialogClickListener                   create             editTextName setOnEditorActionListener new OnEditorActionListener                  Override             public boolean onEditorAction TextView v  int actionId  KeyEvent event                    editTextPassword requestFocus       Press Return to focus next one                 return false                                    editTextPassword setOnEditorActionListener new OnEditorActionListener                  Override             public boolean onEditorAction TextView v  int actionId  KeyEvent event                       Press Return to invoke positive button on alertDialog                  alertDialog getButton AlertDialog BUTTON POSITIVE  performClick                    return false                                        Must set password mode after creating alert dialog          editTextPassword setInputType InputType TYPE TEXT VARIATION PASSWORD           editTextPassword setTransformationMethod PasswordTransformationMethod getInstance             alertDialog show

Use these lines in the code  because the textEntryView is the parent of username edittext and password edittext       final EditText input1    EditText  textEntryView  findViewById R id username        final EditText input2    EditText  textEntryView  findViewById R id password

The API Demos in the Android SDK have an example that does just that   It s under DIALOG TEXT ENTRY  They have a layout  inflate it with a LayoutInflater  and use that as the View   EDIT  What I had linked to in my original answer is stale  Here is a mirror
