That is an Android component, there is no equivalent in iOS.

There is the UIAlertView, but you cannot edit text within it. http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/UIKit/Reference/UIAlertView_Class/UIAlertView/UIAlertView.html#//apple_ref/occ/cl/UIAlertView

If you want to be able to let users edit text in the component, you have to create it from scratch, e.g. create a UIView and add a UITextView to it and some UIButtons and create the functionality to display/dismiss the component yourself.

The component on iPhone is called a UIAlertView. You can add subviews in it to get text-fields, although this is not recommended by Apple - but you won't get rejected either. In iOS5, there are dedicated UIAlertView types for this. If you are building for iOS5, this is the method you should use.

AlertView

        UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title" 
                                                        message:@"Message" 
                                                       delegate:nil 
                                              cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel"
                                              otherButtonTitles:nil];
        [alert show];
        [alert release];
