This might be too late but this might help other developers.

Exoplayer doesn't provide the fullscreen functionality by-default. So we need a workaround for this. We can implement this fullscreen functionality using a dialog. We just need to remove and add the Playerview from our activity to the dialog.

mFullScreenDialog = new Dialog(mContext, android.R.style.Theme_Black_NoTitleBar_Fullscreen) {
        public void onBackPressed() {
            if (mExoPlayerFullscreen) {   //mExoPlayerFullscreen is a boolean that we need to maintain to know whether screen is fullscreen or not.
                ((Activity) mContext).setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_PORTRAIT);
                closeFullscreenDialog();
            }
            super.onBackPressed();
        }
    };

Here we initialized the dialog.

mFullScreenButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            if (!mExoPlayerFullscreen) {
                ((Activity) mContext).setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_LANDSCAPE);
                openFullscreenDialog();
            } else {
                ((Activity) mContext).setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_PORTRAIT);
                closeFullscreenDialog();
            }
        }
    });

Here we initialized the fullscreen button of out exoplayer.

private void openFullscreenDialog() {
    ((ViewGroup) playerView.getParent()).removeView(playerView);
    mFullScreenDialog.addContentView(playerView, new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
    mFullScreenIcon.setImageDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(mContext, R.drawable.exoplayer_shrink));
    mExoPlayerFullscreen = true;
    mFullScreenDialog.show();
}

private void closeFullscreenDialog() {
    ((ViewGroup) playerView.getParent()).removeView(playerView);
    ((FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.main_media_frame)).addView(playerView);
    mExoPlayerFullscreen = false;
    mFullScreenDialog.dismiss();
    mFullScreenIcon.setImageDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(mContext, R.drawable.exoplayer_expand));
}

playerview is the Playerview that you will initialize for

and in java,

playerView = (PlayerView) findViewById(R.id.player_view);
