Your login view will have a Username(txtUsername) and a Password(txtPwd) text fields. And a button(btnLogin).

-(IBAction)Login:id(sender)  
{
if([txtUsername.text length] !=0 && [txtPwd.text length] !=0)
{
// Navigate to view controller you want to
}
else
{
UIAlertView* alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:nil message:@"please enter both the fields" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];

[alertView show];                           
[alertView release];
}
}

- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{

    if (buttonIndex == 0) {

        //OK clicked

        //Do something

    } 
    else {

    }

}

You can check when enter/return/done is pressed on keyboard using textFieldShouldReturn delegate..

textFieldShouldReturn:

If you want to check while user is typing itself, you can use

textFieldDidBeginEditing

and

textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString:

Read UITextFieldDelegate documentation...

You can check length of entered text. For example:

if ([usernameTextField.text length] == 0 && [passwordTextField.text length] == 0) {
      // inform user to enter both data
}
