How to retrieve text from UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput

I'm calling a UIAlertView with the PlainTextView style, and I'm trying to work out how I can get access to whatever the user entered in the text view before they clicked OK.

I'm using willDismissWithButtonIndex and the alertView doesn't seem to have any properties like text, or anything.

How can I get at it? Thanks in advance!

Get the text field with 

UITextField *textfield =  [alertView textFieldAtIndex: 0];

In your delegate method. Refer to the documentation for further information.

Edit march 2015 due to many views the swift equivalent :

let textfield = alertView.textFieldAtIndex(0)

UITextField *textfield = [alertView textFieldAtIndex: 0];

Use this in uialertview delegate

- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
   UITextField *textfield =  [alert_name textFieldAtIndex: 0];
 }

Use its method:

- (UITextField *)textFieldAtIndex:(NSInteger)textFieldIndex

For index 0.
