hello.

I created a Component called "library".
I created a field with the following specifications
Type : category
Name : catid
Data Type : int
XML :

type="category"
name="listcategory"
label="Select a category"
extension="com_library.lists"
scope=""
required="true"
show_root="false"
default=""
description="select one of the following categories"
class="inputbox"
published="true"
multiple="false"
showon=""
I created a Admin View called "list".
Add filed catid in list view
I linked view to component.
compile & install
insert category in library component
but in create list cannot select category. list is empety.

Export of Component is : https://www.dropbox.com/s/9u0uazi95acs99u/JCB_library.zip?dl=1

Try it without the show_root="false" since I see have categories in many of my components and it does not have that value set.

The name must be catid

<field 
	type="category" 
	name="catid" 
	label="Category" 
	extension="com_###component###.lists"
	default="" 
	description="select any of the following categories" 
	class="inputbox"
	multiple="false"
/>

So the above should work, it does for me. I use categories all over the place.

What was breaking mine was the instructions for published: I was using "true" but that's not correct

JCB:
published (optional) (true/false) is whether the drop down will show only published or unpublished categories.

Joomla! Site:
published (optional) (1/0/2/-2) is whether the drop down will show only published (1), unpublished (0), archived (2) or trashed (-2) categories. It is possible to combine different publishing status by entering the list of the corresponding numbers separated by comma (e.g. "0,2,-2" will display only unpublished, archived and trashed categories in the drop-down).
