While building the adapter you can combine the values as required: Ex:

String[] keywords;

counter =0;
for(i=0; i< palnets.length(); i++)
{
  for(j=0; j< colors.length(); j++)
  {
   keywords[counter] = "Planet" + planets[i] + "Color:" + colors[j] + "Price:" + prices[j];
   counter++;
  }
}

    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, keywords);
    final AutoCompleteTextView textView = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView);
    textView.setAdapter(adapter);
